DADA2 return-code-9 Error

Thank you so much@Mehrbod_Estaki. It is very useful.
And now I go into demultiplexed sequences to be filtered and trimmed, de-noiised, merged. But when I apply dada2 plugin I face a problem. Here is my sequence quality score. and my code and error:
qiime dada2 denoise-paired \

Plugin error from dada2:

See above for debug info.

so I guess my parameter to trim and trunc is wrong?

Hi @chivaleris,
I moved this to a new topic as it was no longer related to your previous inquiry. This makes everyone’s life easier on the forum.

Your truncate/trim parameters look fine to me actually, the error is not related to that at all. If I’m not mistaken that is typically related to memory issues with your machine. A very common error around here so have a look through some of the other posts on the topic to see if the solutions there can help you out.
